Our Thoughts

The 2024 La Mare Modern 11 represents a distinctive approach to on-the-water living, combining European houseboat design with practical cruising capability. This 36-foot model, powered by twin Yamaha 25hp high-thrust outboards with hydraulic steering, delivers a cruising speed of 5 knots and maximum speed of 8 knots—ideal for leisurely waterway exploration rather than distance running. The 19-gallon fuel capacity and 264-gallon fresh water tank reflect a design optimized for extended mooring and stationary living rather than offshore passage-making.

The layout centers on genuine livability. Two staterooms, a full head with shower, and a galley with SMEG refrigerator, electric convection microwave, and range hood create functional accommodation for couples or small families. The salon features a linear bar, ample natural light through double-glazed windows and doors, and a design-forward aesthetic enhanced by the included design pack with stretch ceiling, dimmer-controlled LED lighting, and stateroom reading lights with USB outlets. The upper deck terrace with flexi teak flooring and stainless steel railings extends entertaining and relaxation space, while louvered overhead panels on forward and aft decks manage weather and light.

Systems reflect off-grid and flexible-power capability. A Victron 5000-watt inverter supports a house battery bank of four 205Ah lithium batteries plus a dedicated 60Ah start battery, while four 310-watt solar panels provide renewable charging. The 30-amp shore power system allows connection at marinas, and a Victron transformer manages AC distribution. Electric central heating with radiant floor warmth, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and a heated towel rack address comfort in cooler climates. Fresh water and waste tanks (both 264 gallons) enable extended time away from utilities, with a three-way gray water valve offering flexibility in waste management.

Construction emphasizes durability and insulation. Foam-filled composite floats, a galvanized steel sub-frame, 6cm foam insulation, and composite flooring (light oak finish) create a solid, thermally efficient structure. Double-glazed windows and doors, PVC ceiling, and GRP wallpaper complete the weather-tight envelope. Stainless steel 304 railings on both lower and upper decks, Scandinavian cedar exterior boarding, and a mooring cleat package (with two additional cleats included) support secure anchoring and long-term mooring.

This particular unit qualifies as a model home clearance, representing a $38,000 savings and immediate delivery from San Diego. It arrives fully outfitted with the floating package (including pre-rigged engines, console, solar, batteries, and navigation lights), power pack for off-grid 110V operation, design pack, and cabin furnishings. The combination of twin outboard propulsion, robust battery and solar infrastructure, comfortable two-cabin layout, and European construction quality makes this Modern 11 a considered choice for buyers seeking a stable, well-equipped floating home rather than a traditional cruising yacht.

2024 La Mare Modern 11 Houseboat for Sale in San Diego – 36 ft Luxury Floating Home with Twin Yamaha Outboards
Overview
The 2024 La Mare Modern 11 represents a contemporary approach to permanent and extended on-the-water living, combining Scandinavian design principles with practical marine engineering. At 36 feet in length with a 13.67-foot beam, this houseboat is engineered as a floating residence rather than a traditional recreational vessel, offering the comfort and amenities of a land-based home integrated into a marine platform. Powered by twin Yamaha 25 hp high-thrust outboards with hydraulic steering, the Modern 11 is designed for leisurely cruising at 5 knots with a maximum speed of 8 knots—speeds appropriate for a vessel intended for anchoring, mooring, and waterfront living rather than distance running. This specific example (hull #442) is offered as a model home clearance sale, representing a $38,000 savings from original pricing. The vessel arrives fully equipped with factory-installed systems including shore power connectivity, onboard power generation via solar and inverter technology, climate control, and comprehensive interior furnishings. For buyers seeking a turnkey floating home with modern construction standards and minimal commissioning requirements, the Modern 11 addresses the growing market segment of full-time and seasonal liveaboards who prioritize comfort, energy efficiency, and contemporary living spaces over traditional boating performance.
Layout and Deck Design
The Modern 11's layout prioritizes livable square footage and functional separation of spaces. The interior is organized into two staterooms, one head, a full galley, linear bar, and expansive salon area—a configuration that mirrors residential apartment living more closely than traditional yacht cabin design. The forward port side helm station positions the operator in the bow, offering visibility across the water while maintaining a compact footprint that preserves interior real estate. Deck design emphasizes outdoor living and weather protection. The upper deck terrace spans 4.5 meters by 4.5 meters and is finished with flexiteak decking, creating a substantial outdoor entertaining and relaxation platform. The terrace includes aluminum ladder access and stainless steel railings (upgradeable to full 304 stainless steel throughout the vessel). Louvered overhead panels on both forward and aft decks provide shade and ventilation control, while movable roof roller blinds offer additional climate and light management. The exterior lower decks are finished in Scandinavian cedar boarding, reflecting the vessel's Scandinavian design heritage and providing aesthetic warmth while maintaining durability in marine environments. All exterior windows and doors feature double-glazing for thermal efficiency and condensation reduction—critical for vessels operating in variable climates or anchored for extended periods. The double-glazed sliding front door and hinged rear door provide weather-sealed access while maintaining visual connection to the water.
Helm and Electronics
The forward port helm station houses the console with steering wheel, hydraulic steering system, and control interfaces for the twin Yamaha outboards. The console includes a canvas cover for weather protection and integrates a multi-hub display that consolidates engine and system monitoring. This helm placement is intentional: positioning the operator forward maximizes sight lines and creates a distinct navigation area separate from the living spaces, reducing operational noise and distraction in the main cabin. The Modern 11 includes factory pre-rigging for navigation electronics, with coaxial and CAT6 cabling infrastructure supporting future installation of navigation systems, entertainment, and communication equipment. Outside cameras are pre-installed, enhancing security and situational awareness when moored or anchored. Navigation lights are integrated into the standard equipment package, meeting regulatory requirements for waterway operation.
Power Systems and Energy Independence
The Modern 11 is equipped with a comprehensive power architecture supporting both shore-dependent and off-grid operation. The floating package includes four 310-watt solar panels, a Victron 5000-watt inverter, and a battery bank comprising four 205 amp-hour house batteries plus one 60 amp-hour start battery. This configuration allows the vessel to operate independently from shore power for extended periods, with solar generation offsetting daily consumption and battery storage providing power during low-light hours. Shore power integration includes two 30-amp 110V inlets with 50-foot cordage, enabling connection to standard marine pedestals at marinas and waterfront facilities. A Victron transformer manages conversion between shore power and onboard systems, protecting equipment and optimizing charging cycles. The twin Yamaha 25 hp high-thrust outboards are selected for shallow-water capability and fuel efficiency rather than speed, with a combined 19-gallon fuel capacity supporting extended cruising within regional waterways. The outboards employ double shifter controls and hydraulic steering for responsive handling and reduced physical effort during maneuvering.
Climate Control and Interior Comfort
The Modern 11 addresses comfort through dual heating and cooling systems. An air conditioning unit with reverse-cycle heat function operates from either the onboard inverter or 110V shore power, enabling year-round temperature management. A supplementary electric central heating system runs from 110V shore power, providing redundancy and zone-specific warming. Radiant floor heating in the salon, staterooms, and head distributes warmth evenly, reducing cold spots and improving overall thermal comfort during cooler seasons. This multi-system approach reflects the vessel's intended use as a permanent or semi-permanent residence, where heating and cooling efficiency directly impact living comfort and operational costs over extended occupancy periods.
Interior Spaces and Accommodations
The two staterooms are designed with residential-quality furnishings including beds and built-in wardrobes. Each stateroom is equipped with reading lights featuring USB outlets (two per cabin), enabling convenient device charging without dedicated electrical outlets. Design upgrades include stretch ceilings, decorative wall treatments, and dimmer controls for LED lighting, creating a cohesive aesthetic aligned with contemporary interior design standards. The head integrates a shower, sink, electric freshwater flush toilet, heated towel rack, mirror, and exhaust fan—specifications comparable to residential bathrooms rather than compact marine heads. HPL (high-pressure laminate) wall finishes provide durability and easy maintenance in the humid marine environment. The galley features a larger sink than standard specifications, a SMEG refrigerator with freezer capacity, an electric convection microwave oven, and a galley range hood for ventilation. These appliances represent mid-to-premium residential equipment, supporting meal preparation and food storage for extended occupancy. A linear bar in the salon provides beverage service and entertaining functionality, positioned to integrate with the main living area. The salon serves as the primary living space, featuring the bar, ample window area for natural light, and LED lighting with dimmer controls. The salon's open layout and double-glazed windows create visual connection to the surrounding water while maintaining thermal separation and weather protection.
Fresh Water and Waste Management
Fresh water capacity of 264 gallons supports extended operation without shoreside connection, sufficient for a two-person household for approximately 4–5 days depending on consumption patterns. An equivalent 264-gallon waste tank ensures extended cruising without frequent pump-out requirements. A three-way valve for gray water provides operator choice between tank storage and direct overboard discharge (where regulations permit), while a waste pump system manages black water handling. These capacities reflect the Modern 11's design as a liveaboard platform where water independence and waste management are practical necessities rather than occasional concerns.
Construction and Durability
The Modern 11 employs foam-filled composite floats as the buoyancy foundation, providing superior durability and flotation compared to traditional pontoon designs. The galvanized steel sub-frame resists corrosion in saltwater and brackish environments, while foam insulation (approximately 2.4 inches) provides thermal efficiency and condensation control. The composite floor with light oak finish balances durability with residential aesthetics, and the white PVC ceiling provides clean, maintainable interior surfaces. Stainless steel 304 railings (standard on lower decks, upgradeable throughout) provide corrosion resistance and structural safety. Mooring cleats (four standard, with additional upgrades available) support secure anchoring and mooring operations.
Why This Vessel Deserves Consideration
The 2024 La Mare Modern 11 occupies a distinct market position between traditional houseboats and luxury yachts. It is engineered specifically for buyers seeking permanent or extended on-the-water living with contemporary comfort standards, energy independence, and Scandinavian design philosophy. The twin Yamaha outboard configuration provides reliable propulsion and shallow-water capability without the complexity and maintenance demands of inboard diesel engines, while the comprehensive solar and battery system supports reduced reliance on shore power and marina infrastructure. The model home clearance pricing represents substantial savings from original specification, making premium features—including the stainless steel railings, extended terrace, solar package, and high-capacity battery bank—more accessible to buyers entering the live
